Chapter 119: Protest

Steve sighed. It seemed that this job would not be as easy as reading reports in the office. Being held at gunpoint by a stranger was something he had never thought of in his life.

His brown eyes looked at each person who was currently staring at him fiercely. There were about 4 people. And they were all men.

All four of them were wearing shabby clothes with brownish skin. One of them had a muscular build and was almost as tall as he was.

Steve glanced behind him, right at his three colleagues. They all looked scared and hid behind his back. Flo even tightened her hands on the hem of the shirt she was wearing while hiding her face.

Not wanting to cause more trouble, Steve opened his mouth, trying to figure out what was really going on.

"Excuse me, sir." A polite tone came out of his mouth. The look on his face was both friendly and modest.

"May I know what made you all come here and say that?"

The four people stared at each other as if they were equating for the

He immediately crawled closer to Steve, which made Jean, Henry, and Tom gasp in surprise. Unusually, the quiet man reacted."What deal are you going to offer us?" Joy asked in a stifled voice."Will it be a way or a gap between us?" He said it in a low voice. Steve smiled. He could see the look in the man's eyes. It was sincere and warm. He glanced at Terry briefly, as if telepathically.Fortunately, Terry immediately knew what Steve needed. From the backpack he was carrying, he took out a few things, namely blank paper and a pen.Once the two items were in hand, Terry handed them to Steve, who was immediately welcomed.Steve glanced at the four men, then wrote something on the paper, forming the chest-shaking phrase "agreement.".Jean and Joy turned their eyes towards Steve, asking for an explanation of what he was doing.

His hair was already very messy because it was constantly being messed up. Kai glanced at the clock on his wrist. It was already 3 p.m. Daniel should have come to this place and met him to clarify Jessy's current situation somewhere. But it was a pity because his wish did not come true. He was alone in the waiting room. "Where is that crazy man?" he muttered to himself, his annoyance clearly audible. "Why hasn't he come yet?" Bored of waiting, Kai stood up to explore the room. His feet walked at a slow pace while looking around the room, which didn't seem to have much furniture. In front of him were two large brown shelves containing neatly lined files. Kai estimated that it was an inter-company agreement that Layla had tidied up. Back on the other side, Kai saw Daniel's dark br

Colorful lights that were dominantly red and green highlighted the entire room.Women dressed in sexy clothes with men who are dominant in suits are seen swaying their bodies to the rhythm of the music. The smell of perfume mixed together wafted through the air, creating a sensation that tickled the nose. The atmosphere seemed so normal in a luxury bar in Seoul."Normal drink," A well-dressed middle-aged man sat on one of the bar stools with his hand resting on his chin. The bartender who was wiping the glass turned his head, smiling a little until his eyes narrowed."Mr. Kang," the bartender called out in a friendly tone. He picked up a glass from the shelf and began to make the drink ordered by Korea's most influential businessman."I just saw you again after a long time," the bartender said pleasantly as he broke the silence between the two of them, apart from the music played by

He glanced wearily at the piles of documents piled up on his desk, making the entire surface of his desk invisible, except for the space to place his laptop. Since Steve's go to Korea, Work has been piling up, with many documents yet to be reviewed.Barbara massaged his head, which was throbbing with pain. Black eye bags were clearly visible on his face, contrasting with his pure white skin. On top of that, his hair looked messy, sticking out everywhere, suggesting that he hadn't had time to tidy up his appearance.It got worse when he found out that his secretary, Jessy, had also disappeared because she was being held captive by the eldest Griffin. It felt like Barbara wanted to scream to vent what was pent up in his chest."Mr. Barbara,"Someone walked into Barbara's room without permission. It was Ivy, Steve's secretary, and Ben's girlfriend. The white-haired girl walked up to Barbara with a cup of coffee in her hand."Y

He tapped Steve on the shoulder to bring the man's daydream back to reality. And it worked. Steve gasped in shock. He blinked his eyes for a few seconds, gathering his newly scattered consciousness."Huh?" The word just came out of his mouth. He turned his head to the left and right of his body to look at his two colleagues."What's wrong?""Why do you look so surprised?" Terry asked in a teasing tone. He drew his eyebrows down with his lips curled up, forming an annoying smile."I'm just passing on information, not your secret.""But your words surprised me, you know!" Steve grumbled in annoyance as he felt he was being made a joke of.Terry chuckled, followed by

Accompanied by Mr. Kang and one of his bodyguards, they walked through every corner of the empty land without exception.Steve was talking to Mr. Kang about the facilities that would be built on the site, while Terry, Ben, and Flo chose to wait under a nearby coconut tree.Terry fanned himself with a small electric fan while drinking coconut water he bought from a local vendor."Do you think what Steve did yesterday will make Mr. Kang angry?" Ben's question broke the silence between the three of them.The heterochrome-eyed man chose to watch Steve from a distance. His eyes didn't look away, as if he was afraid Steve would disappear if he looked away.Terry turned his gaze toward his brother. He put the coconut in his hand on the sand, striking a thinking pose. "It's possible. Because Steve has made a double deal, hasn't he?""I agree," Flo chimed in, enteri

    Chapter 126: Plan Z 0502 (2)"Plan Z 0502?"Steve muttered under his breath. It felt like he had heard that word before. The word seemed familiar to his ears. But where had he heard it?His eyes closed tightly, trying to remember. In his mind, one thing came to mind. A rabbit pendulum with the same number code. 0502.Steve opened his eyes and looked at Terry, who seemed to be waiting for a reaction from him. A rough sigh now came from his mouth. "What do you mean Kai's plan?" asked Steve skeptically.Terry pulled the corner of his lips, forming a meaningful smile. His eyes even narrowed as the smile was too wide. "Exactly. I thought you wouldn't remember that name.""The rabbit pendulum—that's what made me remember the name of the plan," Steve said in a low tone, then clenched his hand and opened it a few times."Rabbit pendulum?" Terry raised his voice again when he heard the foreign object. Steve nodded his head quickly in response. He closed the note book in his hand and put it

What did it mean? His brain was now thinking hard, trying to connect and figure out the context of the red writing. However, as far as he thought, his mind would come to a dead end . Terry couldn't find it.Since his curiosity had not been quenched, Terry reached into his pocket, taking out the white rubber gloves he always carried."Gloves? Why are you carrying that?" asked Steve in surprise. Of all the things, why did Terry take out the glove to solve this oddity?"You'll find out later. Just watch."Terry didn't say much. He chose to continue with his activities. Once the glove was attached to his hand, Terry quickly snatched the file from Steve's hand. This naturally took the dark purple-haired man by surprise."Hey, what are you doing?"Terry didn't answer the question. His eyes remained

The autopsy was announced in court, as was prosecuting Minji, who was the suspect in this incident.Steve sat in the chair as a witness. He had left everything to the lawyer hired by Kai. After all, this was the final battle between him and Minji to prove whether she was guilty or not.Behind him, there were many people who came to see the trial. In addition, many of the media were allowed to record this incident since it was an open trial. They were filming this event because Rosemary was one of the most influential figures in the business world (and growing in Steve's hands).Steve felt his heart beating very hard. He hoped that Minji would not appeal the verdict. After the clerk announced the verdict, a 40-year-old woman who represented the forensic doctor, who autopsied the bodies of her father and mother, entered."I am Fela, the forensic doctor who will bear witness to the truth of t

How could the culprit have been found? What evidence has been found? The thoughts kept spinning in his head endlessly, making him dizzy himself.Terry turned his attention to Ben, who was now frowning. The man with heterochromia eyes looked silent, as if he were analyzing the situation in this house.“What do you mean, sir?” asked Ben quickly, representing Terry’s question, who was about to ask the same question.The detective smiled faintly at Terry and Ben. “Yes, the culprit has been found. I just need additional evidence to support it.”“That fast?” asked Steve in an incredulous tone. He rounded his eyes, unable to believe what he had just heard.His heart seemed to stop beating as his face paled. Was the detective in front of him playing games with him? Or was he telling the truth? Because, as he rememb

Her eyes were sparkling, and her gaze was full of pleading. She looked at Steve with her hands clasped in front of her chest."Yes, I beg you. Please be the father of my child. Let's go back to the way we used to be, Steve. I've always dreamed of us being a family again, like-""Stop it there." Steve stopped Minji's words, which were too ridiculous for his ears. He put on a frivolous smile with a sardonic look in his eyes."After you left with another man and are now pregnant, you're asking to get back with me? Have you lost your mind?"Minji's smile now faded, turning into a sad face. Tears now flowed from her eyes again, much more heavily than before. Her sobs sounded so soft and heart-

    Chapter 135: She's backAfter a long debate with Mr. Kang, Steve decided to just go back to America with Terry and Ben. And here he was, in an airport full of people.After getting their suitcase, the three men quickly made their way out. They had missed the country so much. Fun plans were already running through their brains.Steve inhaled the air greedily, with a small smile on his lips. He was very happy to be back in the country, although on the other hand, he felt a little bad that Mr. Kang had to take care of the rest of his work.As he was about to get a taxi, someone suddenly tugged on the hem of his shirt. Steve turned around to see who it was.His eyes were perfectly rounded, as if they were about to pop out of place. In addition, his heart seemed to stop beating, with his body frozen like a statue. He couldn't believe the person in front of him."Hello, Steve." Steve immediately took the body tightly into his arms. He buried his head on her shoulder. Steve's breathi

The three men had no other means of protecting their bodies from the fury of the crazed audience, just because of Daniel's provocative sentence.Once the tomatoes and cakes on the buffet table were gone, the guests stood still, staring at the three men with disgust, cynicism, and hatred. Steve lifted his head from the folds of his hands, protecting his face, and looked at his own body.His body was so dirty, covered in cream and crushed tomatoes. The same thing happened to Terry and Steve. "Get the three of you out of here! A vile person like you doesn't belong with the leaders of the company, Mr. Steve," Alexa said angrily. She clenched her fists with a glare at Steve."Ms. Alexa, I-""Get out of here!" Alexa shouted loudly. She grabbed Steve's hand and pushed him hard, knocking him to the ground. Again, Steve felt a sense of dejavu, just like when he was humiliated by Daniel at Layla'

He felt victorious because he had managed to make the man feel cornered.Daniel picked up the mic again, brought it closer to his mouth, and spoke again to make another provocative sentence."I have proof that Steve did that. Do you want to see it?"Again, there was silence for the second time. The audience was shocked by the words that came out of his mouth. "Don't you believe me? I really have proof." Daniel opened his mouth again. He made his tone persuasive so that the audience would believe what he said.The platinum-haired girl, who had been speaking, fell silent. Her mouth opened, and a look of doubt now overcame her. From that alone, the woman who had been supporting Steve now began to have doubts about what she believed in."You must be joking if you have proof." The platinum-haired woman uttered the

The praise they had just given him seemed to have been taken back. In other words, they are licking their own saliva.Seeing the situation turning against him, Terry gritted his teeth. His jaw clenched so tightly that his neck veins stood out. His hands were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His eyes were bulging, and a dark, black aura now surrounded his body, making the few people who were there step aside because they couldn't stand the dark aura. Let's not forget the dominant demeanor that was getting thicker and thicker around him, making Terry ten times scarier than before.Beside him, Steve and Ben looked quite panicked to see Terry, who was in alert mode. They were both trying to quell the anger of the red-haired man. Steve and Ben stroked Terry's back gently, trying to calm his hot-blooded heart."Terry,

His eyes shifted in another direction, reluctant to meet Kai, who was currently waiting for a reaction from him.“Who proposed the mission to them?” asked Steve, trying to remain calm. His voice sounded flat, contrary to the state of his heart, which wanted to blame his best friend.Kai sighed. He bit the candy in his mouth until it crumbled and swallowed it slowly. After his mouth was clean, Kai coughed a little. He wanted to create a serious atmosphere between himself and Steve.“Mr. Kang and I planned this,” Kai replied in a low voice. His gaze was still fixed on Steve, though the man was reluctant to look at him.“But why?” Steve massaged the bridge of his throbbing nose, feeling clueless about everything that was happening.“What are you bothering the Griffins for? Didn’t they do anything to the Grayon family and Kang Corp this time?”Kai glared

    Chapter 131: Like Heaven and Earth Kai was silent for a few moments. His eyes were perfectly rounded, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. His face looked so pale, like paper. His mouth was slightly open, but he didn't say anything, as if something were holding his tongue. His heart seemed to stop beating. His mind was suddenly blank, as was the look in his eyes. Feeling something was wrong, Steve gently patted the back of Kai's hand. "Kai?" Steve called out in a slightly louder voice to wake Kai up from his reverie. Apparently, it worked. Kai was stunned and looked at Steve with blinking eyes a few times, gathering the consciousness that had been scattered. "Yes?" He said it spontaneously. "Why are you daydreaming?" asked Steve with a deeply furrowed brow. His tone of voice showed that he was annoyed, which was very different from before, when he was so friendly and warm. "Why are you being quiet? Please answer my question, Kai. I want to know what you're h
